Today's Political Comment

So now we're hearing from the "Sandy Hook Truthers," who think the killings at that school were faked for some purpose…to justify gun control, I guess. Boy, those grieving parents are good actors.

I guess we should have expected this. No important event can happen in this country now without its conspiracy theorists emerging from the primordial ooze and making the slight leap to cable news and the Internet. In fact, I have a conspiracy theory about most conspiracy theorists.

I think most of them are, knowingly or unknowingly, foolish and ineffectual people who feel important when they're angry…and when they think they know something that the masses do not. That's my theory and don't bother showing me proof to the contrary. Even if it's true, that doesn't get us anywhere.
